ERC or the Employee Retention Tax Credit is part of the CARES Act and American Rescue Act legislation. It is a broad based refundable tax credit that was designed to encourage employers to keep employees on their payroll during the pandemic. Eligible employers can benefit up to $26,000 per employee even if they received PPP during the pandemic.
Billions of dollars have been returned to American businesses
Up to $26K per employee on payroll
$7K per employee per quarter from 1-1-21 up to 9-30-21
Recovery Startup Businesses are eligible up to 12-31-21
Retroactive for 2020 at $5k per employee
IRS issues cash refunds without spending requirements
PPP was heavily marketed by the SBA, while ERC is claimed directly through the US Treasury. Along with our bank partners, it’s our mission to educate you and obtain for your business the payroll tax refund that it’s entitled to.
PPP was a forgivable loan. ERC returns the payroll taxes that your business has already paid. Once your business receives the ERC funds from the US Treasury, it does not have to pay back the credit.
The program began on March 13th, 2020 and ends on September 30, 2021, for eligible employers. You can apply for refunds for 2020 and 2021 starting now, and into 2025. And potentially beyond then too.
Multiple factors can affect the amount of time it takes to start receiving your business’s refund and checks are issued for each qualifying quarter. You may be eligible to receive a portion of your IRS Tax Return in as little as 4 weeks.
Yes. Under the Consolidated Appropriations Act, businesses can now qualify for the ERC even if they already received a PPP loan. Note, though, that the ERC will only apply to wages not used for the PPP.
Your business qualifies for the ERC, if it falls under one of the following:
A government authority required partial or full shutdown of your business during 2020 or 2021. This includes your operations being limited by commerce, inability to travel or restrictions of group meetings.
Gross receipt reduction criteria is different for 2020 and 2021, but is measured against the current quarter as compared to 2019 pre-COVID amounts.
Yes. To qualify, your business must meet at least one of the following criteria:
Had to change business operations due to government orders
Experienced a decline in gross receipts by 20%
Change in business hours
Partial or full suspension of your operations
Shutdowns of your supply chain or vendors
Reduction in services offered
Reduction in workforce of employee workloads
Disruption in your business (division or department closures)
Inability to visit a client’s job site
Suppliers were unable to make deliveries of critical goods or materials
Reduced space / social distancing requirements for employees and - customers
Change in job roles / functions
Tasks that couldn’t be done from home or while transitioning to remote work conditions
Lack of travel
Lack of group meetings
Many items are considered as changes in business operations, including shifts in job roles and the purchase of extra protective equipment.
Determining the proper amount of a refund is a complex accounting process. Although these are payroll tax credits, what you’ve paid in payroll tax has no bearing on your ERC calculations. The refunds are based on many factors including
qualifying quarters, number of employees, hours worked, wages paid and if applicable, PPP loans, group health premiums and participation in other government programs to name a few.
Our customers have recovered over $3 billion dollars in refunds for qualified businesses—sometimes for companies that were previously told they did not qualify. It won’t cost you a penny to see how much your company may recover.
To check the status of your refund, you can call the IRS directly at (877) 777-4778. You can also always reach out to your Customer Service rep for any updates throughout your refund process.
